broadcast by Vice on the anniversary of Castlemorton - that magic number 23 beloved of Spiral Tribe - here's a doc on the resurgence of Britain's illegal raves

Karl Kraft, who alerted me to this doc, says he doesn't think there's really been a renaissance - that the illegal-rave scene have been bubbling away in a more or less steady state since the late Nineties, with some areas being particular strongholds - including East Anglia, where he used to live, which for a good while in the 2000s had the fiercest and most full-on illegal-rave scene in the country.
